Notes.

i/ As per rule 1.4, where their names are noted on the Membership Card at the time of issue, a Full Member can take one accompanying person, at a time, from their own Family* fishing on Club Waters wihtout charge – as a Temporary Member.

‘Family’ shall mean the Full Member’s married, civil or co-habiting partner or any of their children^ aged up to 16 years (inclusive).

The above means that if a Full Member has anyone in their Family (as defined) that they may in the year ahead wish to take fishing with them, they need to name them in advance on the Membership form and card. If they have two people that they think they may wish to take fishing at the same time, then one of them will need to obtain their own Membership Card.

ii/ ^ For insurance reasons, anyone fishing Club Waters who is aged below 16 years old must be Directly Supervised~ by an accompanying adult (whether a Member or not) aged 21 years or over.

~ ‘Directly Supervised’ shall mean that the accompanying adult is located in the same, or an adjoining, swim.
